Skip Counting Reggae Man
David Burba

  Listen to this song.

This song is available on "ABC's & Much More."

LYRICS: MOVEMENTS:

Hey Ron, could you come help me with this song?
I am going to teach the children how to do skip counting.
Here is how it goes.                                    

  

Have the children sit with legs
criss-crossed in a big circle and
sway side to side with the beat.
Sometimes when we’re counting,
We don’t count by one’s.
We use other numbers,
‘Cause it’s fast and it’s fun!
If we want to count all the eyes in the room,
We can line up the children and count by two’s.

   At the end of each group of 10,
reverse the direction of marching.
Reggae man says:
2, 4, 6, 8,
10, 12, 14,
16, 18, & 20

2, 4, 6, 8,
10, 12, 14,
16, 18, & 20

Clap hands with each number
while counting/singing with the numbers.
If we want to count all the straws on the table......

Sway side to side with the beat.
Reggae man says: 5, 10, 15,.....

 Hands slap thighs with each number
while counting/singing with the numbers.
If we want to count all the fingers in the class.....

 Sway side to side with the beat.
Reggae man says: 10, 20, 30, 40,.....


 While seated, stomp both feet
(or 10 toes) with each number while
counting/singing with the numbers.

This song is available on "ABC's & Much More."
